Story Overview

Nicolas Deschanel was betrayed by the only two people who matter to him. Their disloyalty stung and an overwhelming sense of loss lingers. Nicolas has lived the high life professing to not have a care in the world, and now this illusion is calling his bluff.

Determined to take control of an existence now devoid of purpose, he sojourns to his family's holiday home on the Gulf of Mexico. Resolved more than depressed, he plans to privately say goodbye to a world which no longer needs him. Of questionable fortune, he finds a woman, Mercy, sitting alone on the shore at eventide. Nicolas is conflicted between an obligation to help, and annoyance at her intrusion.

Mercy has many layers of secrets. Deepest of all, she cannot tell this Child of Man she is thousands of years old and very powerful. In her presence, Nicolas’ own dormant powers begin to surface, triggering a sequence of events that cause both of their lives to spiral further out of control. When old friends from both sides come to help, together they all learn a painful truth: new life can only begin once you've set free what means the most.

What Reviewers Are Saying

"In a word... beautiful. With every new installment I get to read in this fantastic series I fall more and more in love. This is by far the best novel by Sarah I have read, and one of the best books I've gotten my hands on of the year."

"Many books can leave you breathless until the book abruptly ends and you have so many unanswered questions and feel cheated. That is not the case with this book. The author takes you to the very edge, then brings you back on multiple occasions."

"LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!! Could not put it down!!"

"This is a story about forgiveness and redemption, thickly seasoned with fantasy and paranormal. Cradit has mastered connecting the dots."

"Cradit’s ability to weave a story filled with mythology, paranormal, and the reality of life so fluidly kept me turning page after page, thoroughly engrossed. The Illusions of Eventide is by far my Top favorite of 2013!"

First off, I want to say thank you to Ms. Cradit for allowing me to review this book for free. this book is amazing. Sarah M. Cradit never disappoints. The story of Mercy and Nichoas will blow you away. It is fascinating as you unravel the mystery of Mercy and Nicholas. It is an unexpected but awesome read! I was propelled into the story right away. I needed to know what was happening with Mercy and Nicholas. Also, it was great reading about Oz, Ana and Finn. The cliffhanging at the end just left me wanting more. Having read 2 others of Sarah's books, I feel this was the best one yet.

I give this 4.5 stars. ** I received a e-arc for free. This didn't sway my opinion of Illusions of Eventide at all :)
